Minicamp mission: Vikings aiming deep with Bridgewater

Teddy Bridgewater was one of the worst deep-ball quarterbacks in the NFL last season, according to ESPN Stats & Info, but he's apparently making strides at improving that part of his game.

On Tuesday, head coach Mike Zimmer said they've been working more with Teddy Bridgewater on throwing deep balls – and he says Bridgewater is improving.

"I think we've just focused on it a little bit more," Zimmer said, via Vikings.com. "To me he just looks more comfortable and confident in the things he's doing."

Thanks for watching!

What's different besides being more accurate? Zimmer claims Bridgewater is doing things he wouldn't have done previously, like taking a shot down the field when he sees a player jump offsides, or throw deep to a one-on-one receiver when a safety bites on a pump fake or play-action pass.
